1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,80,96,120,160,240,480
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,66,480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,66,480 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,40,279
2 | 96, 40, 279 |
2 | 48, 20, 279 |
2 | 24, 10, 279 |
3 | 12, 5, 279 |
4, 5, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 93 = 44640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/44640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/96,66/40,480/279 is 2/44640
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 96,40,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,40,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(96,40,279) x common factors =1 x 24 = 24
LCM(96,40,279) = ( 96 × 40 × 279 ) / 24
LCM(96,40,279) = 1071360 / 24
LCM(96,40,279) = 44640
